Manage Energy Demand with Efficiency Solutions

Illinois Schools Energy Management Group can guide your school through a free energy audit and provide recommendations ranging from “low-hanging fruit” projects that will yield immediate savings to more complex options that provide innovative energy solutions delivering long-term savings.

Through a lease-to-own finance structure, many efficiency projects can be completed requiring zero upfront costs to the school, with immediate savings on your energy bills covering monthly lease fees.

Our experts can guide you through the process of securing financing, incentives/rebates, and perform the physical upgrades required by the project.
